Vltor A5 Standard Weight Buffer - 5.3 Oz. - A5H2
In stock
The VLTOR A5 buffer system is one of the most tried-and-true buffer systems available in the AR-15 world today. The A5 buffer was specifically designed at the request of the Marine Corps to bring an adjustable stock to their 20” M16 rifles. VLTOR brought them a completely new buffer system that used a rifle-length spring in an adjustable receiver extension tube. This translates to a smoother, slower bolt movement that reduces felt recoil and allows shooters to keep on target.
Note: This buffer does not fit standard carbine extensions. This buffer is only compatible with rifles and pistols utilizing the VLTOR A5 Buffer System and receiver extension.
Features:
- VLTOR patented design
- Body of the buffer is 7075 T6 aluminum
- Mil-Spec Type III clear hard coat anodized
- Middle A5 Buffer Weight of 5.33oz
A5 buffers can only be used with the A5 receiver extension and come in 5 different weights, depending on the needs of the user. Most 16” AR-15s will use the lower weight H1 and H2 options. Short-barreled rifles or suppressed rifles, which experience a lot of backpressure, use H3 and H4 heavy buffers to counteract the violent action of the AR-15’s bolt. Always check with your rifle’s manufacturer specifications to determine what weight is appropriate in your firearm. In special cases, additional research may be done online to determine compatibility.

Vltor A5 5.3 ounce buffee
I used this Vltor buffer in a BCM A5 recoil system as a BCM buffer of this weight was not immediately available. This 5.3 ounce buffer helped me to achieve a good, and consistent 4 o'clock ejection pattern with an overgassed 14.5" heavy barreled carbine.
USVltor A5 buffer 5.3 oz
I am so impressed by the recoil impulse of the Vltor A5 buffer system that I am going to use it on all of my AR15 lowers.
USGood buffer
Great buffer, one of the best I have used so far. Will but more for my other 10 AR-15, m16 rifles I own.
USVltor quality
Highly recommend.
USDefinitely interesting
The VLTOR system is definitely interesting. It changes the recoil impulse in a way that slows the recoil "hit." I wouldn't say you should run out go get it, but it's an interesting upgrade of sorts. I haven't been able to test this yet, but I'm sure with the way it softens recoil on my 16" and 18" rifles, it would definitely be an upgrade on any SBRs or AR pistols.
